BULLYoHooP, Kan, July 5-This town had
| been overrun by tramps for several days, when
| on Sunday evening about 200 Of thom marched
| in and announced that they were to celebrate
tho Fourth here in style. The early Corners had
struggled in from all quarters, but the 200 came
from Wichita, which town had given them
warning o week ago to leave the country Inns
medlately. About 500 hard and useless cit-
IONS obeyed this invitation, and Bullychoop
happened to be on the limo Of march taken by
the 400. who moved In a body, and pretended
to maintain some sort OF military discipline.
As soon as the party arrived there was
town meeting Of tramps, and It WAS decided
that the Fourth should be celebrated as 1t
never had been before In these parts. All told,
there were 267 tramps. and when they took up
collection, which was guaranteed to include
every cent In the crowd, the sum realized was
$1.82. This was not enough to buy key Of
beer with, but by the use Of some persuasion
and some threats. the fellows got two kegs and
then concluded to keep the money for some-
thing else. Along toward midnight 1t was de-
cided that the cash should go for whiskey. and
committee Of twenty was sent to the drug
store to negotiate. At 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing they returned with all tho whiskey In town,
several quart bottles, and still with the money
In their possession. With the preliminaries
thus arranged the celebration Of the great day
was carried out according to programme.
At sunrise the beer was tapped and speedily
disposed Of Att o'clock there was grand
raid on the whiskey. and when that had all
been consumed the entire party formed me In IN
street, and then hating in front Of the hotel
formally took possession of the town, The
